NEW DELHI: Mastek, one of India's leading information technology services companies, launched its new software development centre in Mumbai Thursday. Mastek Millennium Centre, its fifth software development centre in India, will be fully integrated with the other development centres of the company, said a Mastek statement issued here. Mastek, which services Fortune 1000 clients across the world, already has three development centres in Mumbai, India's financial capital, and one in Pune. The new facility has the capacity to house 1,100 people, when fully operational, said the statement, adding that about 600 to 700 professionals would occupy the centre by June 2003. At present the Mastek group employs 1,265 people across the world. "As a result of our growth strategy we expect to have the need for additional centres and the Mumbai campus is a step in that direction," said Ashank Desai, chairman and managing director of Mastek. "Our expected growth won't happen without adding people and we are looking at hiring about 700 people this year. "The Mumbai facility will start operating at full capacity in the next one year." "The facility is designed to host multiple meetings with customers using video conferencing and will be scalable," said the company statement.
